Morning Lou! I'm definitely with Russ on the A/C. Gotta have it!

Yep. Another thing about riding the Blue Ridge Mountains is that if it clouds up, you're probably OK but if it clouds up and you feel the temperatures staring to drop you need to find some place to be pretty quick!

I made one out of that plastic lattice work and a few treated 2x4s. Worked great.

We haven't decided whether to build a trellis or improve the pool deck. Kinda wanting a chill out area to watch the world go by such as a trellis, but when I think about that we already have an AG pool with a surrounding deck so my brain and common sense says to improve that area.

Pool deck is getting a facelift with fresh stain and waterproofing.

I just did a horn swap on my daughter's car. Replaced the one on her Tucson with the 2 that came off my Focus. Her car now sounds like a grown-up car.
